Well, that settles it. I'll never use paint again. It must be evil if the harlot used it.

Of all the gold and silver belongs to God that is a mute statement the problem is does God want us to wear it.

All the cocaine and heroin comes from plants that belongs to God and also tobacco but does God want us to use it?

It may not mention it there, but God certainly appoved of it as adorment when speaking of Jerusalem in His allegory of her as a beautiful woman with whom He was pleased.

Yes, jewelry has been associated with sinful practices, but nowhere has God shown an attitude of being against jewelry in itself. Just as money is not evil in itself, but the love of and use of money can be, so jewelry is not evil in itself, but our attitude towards and use of it can be.

There simply is nothing in Scripture to support the view that gold, silver, and jewelry was never meant to be enjoyed by the children of God. But I know you could never admit that.

You missed his point.

The bride IS the city thorougly adorned with gold and jewelry.

God wants us to bear his reproach, exiting the (camp) perishing city having no gold and jewelry into the city that is so adorned, for here, we have no continuing city, they are slated to perish. Let us also come out of the city (camp) bearing his reproach. See Heb. 13:13 - 14.

Rev 21:9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me, saying, Come here, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 having the glory of God. And its light was like a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.
Rev 21:12 And it had a great and high wall, with twelve gates. And on the gates were twelve angels, and having names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel:
Rev 21:13 From the east three gates, from the north three gates, from the south three gates, and from the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he who talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city and its gates and its wall.
Rev 21:16 And the city lies four-square, and the length is as large as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
Rev 21:18 And the foundation of its wall was jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city had been adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;
Rev 21:20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, hyacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls. Respectively, each one of the gates was one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.

WRONG AGAIN

Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

BTW I never saw the response to my point that God commanded Jewels, precious metals and gems in the priests outfit...Why do that if God sees it as evil?

Nooo, it's the CITY that is called the bride

Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
